Chapter 1893 Prisoner
Chapter 1893 Prisoner
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were carried to the cell. All the people who were originally imprisoned inside looked over here. Some of them cried and begged to be released, but no one paid any attention to them.
The cell was locked again and the men left.
Yan Ruyu was not in a hurry to "wake up", but observed in the space first.
As the distance got closer, she could see clearly that there were seven people imprisoned there, except for her and Huo Changhe.
Four girls and three boys.
The three women all looked like they were from wealthy families, but in the corner there was a youngest one wearing a blue flowered dress and a scarf of the same color on her head. She must be from a poor family.
The other three men were average-looking people. They had money, but they weren't rich either.
Three women were crying. The younger one had red eyes and looked like she was tired of crying. She leaned against the wall without saying a word.
The three men didn't cry, but their faces didn't look much better, and they looked dejected.
Yan Ruyu noticed that there were three men in total, two of them were closer, and the third one was some distance away.
The space here was already narrow, and the two boys moved closer and kept a distance from each other, as if they were avoiding something.
That's very subtle.
Yan Ruyu's gaze fell on the third man.
After a closer look, I can probably guess the reason.
There is a red mark on this person's forehead, which should be a birthmark.
Many people have birthmarks, and it is common to have them on the face. However, this person's birthmark is particularly red, like a cluster of flames, or an inverted flame, running from the forehead down, with the tip of the flame at the end of the eye.
If you look at someone who is peculiar, you will find them very special and novel. If you don't like someone, you will find them very strange and a little scary.
Yan Ruyu didn't find it strange to see this person's birthmark. She had seen it many times. For example, when going on missions abroad, people in some countries would paint patterns on their faces.
Not to mention those far away, just take Beibei as an example, the original appearance of the painting is unrecognizable.
However, when Yan Ruyu saw his birthmark, she suddenly thought of someone.
She consciously exited the space and slowly opened her eyes.
When they saw she woke up, the three women stopped crying and stared at her with tearful eyes.
Yan Ruyu sat up, and as she moved, Huo Changhe next to her woke up as well.
Yan Ruyu looked around and asked the three women, "Where are we? How were you captured?"
The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and one of them said, "I was on my way to my cousin's house and was kidnapped."
"I went to the temple to burn incense."
"I'm also visiting relatives."
Yan Ruyu looked at the girl in plain clothes. The girl pursed her lips and her face was tense.
"I went into the mountains to collect herbs for my father."
The little girl looked at her: "What about you?"
"I'm going to Rongzhou to visit my aunt," Yan Ruyu said seriously. "Halfway through, I passed a village and wanted to ask for a bowl of water. But when I finished the water,..."
This is true.
The most clever lie is one that is half true and half false.
Several people suddenly felt that they had the same fate and wanted to cry.
Yan Ruyu asked anxiously, "What should I do? Do they want money? Why don't they ask for my home address?"
"Did you ask for it?"
The woman shook her head: "No."
"I'm afraid it's not money they want."
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "What do you want? You won't sell me, will you? I'm married."
She grabbed Huo Changhe and said, "Husband, what should we do?"
Huo Changhe cooperated with her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Yan Ruyu complained: "How could you protect me? Now you've come all the way here! It's all your fault. I told you not to go into the village and to hurry on your way, but you wouldn't listen."
Huo Changhe pursed his lips and said nothing.
The little girl said, "They probably didn't ask for money. I could tell at first glance that I was poor and my family had no money, but I was still arrested."
The two men also joined the conversation.
"I don't think it was about money, and he didn't ask us for our address."
"But if they don't want money, women can still be sold. We are men, why would we capture them?"
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly and was about to speak when Huo Changhe said calmly, "There are plenty of men who like homosexuality in Xianggu Pavilion."
Both of them turned pale, but neither of them objected.
They looked at the third man with a hint of disdain in their eyes: "What about him? His appearance..."
The third man glanced at them and lowered his head even more.
Yan Ruyu sneered: "I didn't expect that you two would still judge people by appearance even in this situation."
"This brother has a red fire on his head, so he may not be less blessed than you. He may be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing."
The two men curled their lips and said, "We've come this far, and you're still talking about blessings."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Some people are not blessed and die here, while others are blessed and can escape."
The third man looked at them again, his eyes like a grassland of ashes, but with sparks of fire.
Huo Changhe asked, "What's your name?"
The man replied, "My name is Yu Fei."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other. They both thought that among the accompanying soldiers, there was one whose ancestral home was Rongzhou and whose surname was Yu.
He once said that his father had two brothers, and he also had an uncle, who had a cousin and a cousin who both treated him very well.
Originally, it was my cousin who wanted to join the army, but they thought my son was too young and were afraid that he would suffer too much. However, because my cousin was born with a birthmark on his forehead, he did not pass the examination.
It was not wartime at that time, and there were some requirements for the appearance of soldiers.
When Yan Ruyu saw the birthmark on Yu Fei's forehead, she thought of this incident. When she asked his name, she found out that his surname was Yu.
In all likelihood, Yu Fei is the soldier's cousin.
At this time, the other two men hummed: "I don't know why he was arrested. He doesn't look rich and he's not good-looking."
Yan Ruyu was speechless.
"What? You're feeling superior even after being arrested?"
"You're classy, you're pretty, and you're pretty proud of being caught, right?"
Yan Ruyu glanced at the two of them.
The two of them snorted and said nothing more.
The little girl looked up at Yan Ruyu, pursed her lips and asked, "Can you escape?"
Yan Ruyu looked at her and said, "Think of a way. Everything is possible."
A woman cried, "How can we escape? We've been here for several days and haven't been able to escape."
Yan Ruyu stood up and looked around: "Did you escape?"
The man said, "It's easy for you to say that. We are underground and there are guards above. How can we escape?"
Huo Changhe walked to the prison door and took the lock to look at it.
"The simplest lock, not difficult at all."
"It's not difficult to get out from here. I don't know what the situation is outside."
Yan Ruyu looked outside the cell and saw a faint light in front of her on the other side.
It's like there's a small window.
It's easy as long as there are windows.
Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a wink, and Huo Changhe immediately understood.
He took the thin bracelet in his hand, straightened the tip, and inserted it into the keyhole.
With a "click", the lock opened.
Huo Changhe immediately opened the door and walked out towards the small window.
He jumped lightly and went to the window, pushed it open, and the moonlight poured in, revealing the scenery outside.
Several people in the prison were stunned.
